Fungerar office 365 på chromebook

In my time as a Chromebook specialist in the retail space, I’ve seen hundreds of people confused bygd the process bygd which they get Microsoft Office 365 up and running on their new Chromebooks – especially during the Back to School season! inom felt like putting tillsammans a step-by-step guide that can be referenced at any time.

The process for this fryst vatten relatively simple, but for those who are unfamiliar with product activation or in-app subscriptions, it can seem convoluted. inom hope this clears some things up!

Installing and running Microsoft Office 365 on your Chromebook fryst vatten actually a breeze and bygd following this step-by-step guide, you can be up and running in just a few minutes.

If it’s something you funnen useful, be sure to share it with your students, loved ones, or employees!

Before we get started

Just a few quick, but important notes before we dive in – If you bought a Chromebook to use for school, your educational email likely already includes a subscription to Office 365. It’s common for most schools to partner with Microsoft to bulk purchase licenses for students and do the work of activating them on your behalf, so kvitto with your teacher or IT administrator before buying your own kopia, or simply try to use your school email to sign in and uppstart using Office 365!

If your product key doesn’t work, it’s possible that it was already accidentally used (don’t buy a card that already has the code on the back scratched off!), or there was an error with creating a valid product key in the factory when the kort were mass-produced.

In either case, just bring the card back to the store or contact Microsoft support directly to try resolving the issue. An invalid product key does not mean there’s anything wrong with your Chromebook!

Another thing inom should mention fryst vatten that Office 365 on a Chromebook does not have all of the same features as the utgåva of Office we grew up with on fönster.

That’s not to säga it’s not fully-featured though – far from it! There fryst vatten no complicated or advanced Microsoft band and there are a few missing features – like macros or advanced fängelse navigation shortcuts, but the software was created this way on purpose. Aside from a few professions like accountants, most people probably won’t need anything more than what the apps offer.

Take time to see if the software works for you and put the work in to explore its features and inom can almost promise it will be sufficient for your needs.

For those of you who find that the Office apps lack something, you can probably get better mileage out of Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and more. Google’s SaaS services have evolved to be ganska competitive in recent years and deserve a fair shake, so give them a go before you decide to give up!

Lastly – and this fryst vatten very important – If you want to use Publisher or tillgång, they are for fönster PCs only!

How to tillgång Microsoft Office on a Chromebook.

inom repeat – you can not use Microsoft Publisher or tillgång on your Chromebook. If you need an alternative to Publisher, you can look into one of these three alternatives or find a web-based alternative for tillgång – sorry. Alright, with all of that out of the way, let’s get cracking!

How to Install Microsoft Office 365

Being that Chromebooks use web apps and Google Play Apps as their software, you could always opt for using Office Online, but it’s known to have more limitations than its app-based counterpart.

Today, let’s look at installing Office 365 from the Play Store. Previously, Microsoft offered Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and more via unbundled, separate apps, but this year, they merged them all tillsammans into Microsoft Office – a standalone app that mirrors how it’s offered on other platforms like fönster and macOS.

This greatly helped to reduce confusion and fryst vatten a welcome change. You can download Office for your Chromebook right below – easy, right?

Du är kapabel öppna, redigera, ladda ned samt spara Microsoft® 365-filer, mot modell Word-, PowerPoint- alternativt Excel-filer, vid din Chromebook.

Don’t worry, although the screenshots show a phone view, it will utöka and passform your Chromebook’s display appropriately!

Activation Method 1: In-app purchase

There are two ways to activate Microsoft Office 365 on your Chromebook – with a subscription card you can buy from Best Buy or other similar stores, and with an in-app purchase.

Let’s first look at the in-app option. Activating a month-to-month subscription using the prompt in the app utilizes the debit or kredit card you have on en samling dokument eller en elektronisk lagring av data in the Google Play Store in beställning to bill you. It costs $6.99 per month and a total of about $83.88 per year before tax. There’s also a Family program for $9.99 per month and about $120 per year before tax that gives you a terabyte of cloud storage for each of your family members up to six in addition to the Office apps.

It’s easier on your pockets up front, but it’s the more expensive option after everything fryst vatten said and done.

By comparison, the subscription card costs only $69.99 for the year for one user and you may even get a discount if you buy it at the same time you purchase your Chromebook from the store – that’s half the annual cost! Of course, if you go with the in-app subscription model, you can cancel any time and spend ingenting further, so it doesn’t actually cost twice as much if you just need it for a few months!

Hello there, inom can confirm that you can indeed install Microsoft 365 apps on a Chromebook device.

Please keep in mind that both methods use an auto-renew approach, so if you opt for the card from the store, you’ll be smacked with $70 bucks at one time a year from your activation date for its renewal. Placing a reminder on your Google Calendar fryst vatten the easiest way to anticipate this.

When you first launch the app, you’ll be prompted to sign in to your outlook account.

Once finished, you’ll find your beskrivning image at the top left side of the screen. Tapping it reveals a “Me” pop-up låda which shows your connected konto or accounts, settings, and a button that says “Go premium”.

Tap on that to be redirected to the betalning portal. Next, tap the big apelsinfärg button that pops up on the next screen – “Go premium – First month free”. From there, just follow the steps to finalize your beställning and you can begin using Office 365 on your Chromebook!

If you’re interested in managing or canceling your subscription, simply visit the Google Play Store on your device, slide open the left-side hamburger menu and go to ‘subscriptions’ (You can also manage your subscriptions on the web).

There are two ways to activate Microsoft Office 365 on your Chromebook – with a subscription card you can buy from Best Buy or other similar stores, and with an in-app purchase.

Locate Office on the list and click tap on it. At the bottom of the page, you’ll see a ‘cancel subscription’ link. That’s all! You’ll be able to continue using your Office 365 features until the current billing cycle ends.

Activation Method 2: With a subscription card

If you purchased your Chromebook from Best Buy or another big låda store, it’s likely that they tacked a subscription card on to your beställning for Office 365 anställda for $69.99 + tax, and it’s somewhere in your bag (unless they forgot to give it to you, that is).

This utgåva comes with Word, Excel, Powerpoint, OneNote, Outlook, tillgång, and Publisher in addition to a terabyte of cloud storage with OneDrive, and of course, tillgång to Skype with your Microsoft Outlook konto.

In that case, activating the software via the in-app subscription method will render your card useless – well, sort of. If you subscribe in-app, your shiny new subscription card will not be utilized, thus making your $70 purchase a waste of money.

The worst part fryst vatten that many stores will refuse to take the card back citing Microsoft’s return policy on activation codes, even if it’s not scratched off on the back. inom think Best Buy will allow you to do so, provided it’s still not scratched off, but It’s been a while since I’ve asked.

Okay, enough talk – let’s scratch the back of the card off with a coin or a key to reveal the 25 digits!

Now to bevara you a bunch of digging around and Googling, I’ve created a link below that will take you directly to the product activation input, so long as you’re signed in to the Microsoft website. Simply click the button below to be redirected to the exact page you’ll need to input your code and then follow the sista steps in the setup process to omslag things up – del av helhet of cake!

If you need to manage or cancel your subscription before it renews the following year, just visit the Services & Subscriptions page, go to the Microsoft 365 anställda (or whichever fryst vatten applicable) category, and click ‘cancel’ on the right to get started.

In beställning to begin using the Office 365 apps on your Chromebook with an active subscription, you may need to close and re-open the app (force quitting it works too) or just restart your Chromebook in beställning for it to reflect that you’ve paid for premium tillgång.

inom hope this helps. Let us know in the comments section if you have any trouble getting up and running and enjoy your new Office apps!
